Transom plate damage!

Anyone changed transom plate? Had a catastrophic failure on solas impellers on starboard drive. One blade sheered 3/4 of the way and bent back and gouged the transom plate. Sending both drives to Impros and getting new Solas impellers and stainless solas impeller housings. When I took the drive off on the one that shredded I saw that the blade the broke bent back and gouged the transom plate!

Going to attach pics of the damage. Do I need to replace the transom plate? Can I sand it down and polish smooth? REALLY don’t want to try and tackle that…

TIA!
